Full article:

Tommy Ramone : John was a construction worker at 1633 Broadway. I got transferred there and we'd meet every day for lunch. Usually we'd go over to a go-go place and have a few beers. And after we got a little tipsy, we'd go over to 48th Street to Manny's Guitar Store and look at the guitars. Then, one pay-day, we both went over, bought guitars and decided to start a band. he bought a Mosrite and i bought a DanElectro.
